O novemoer 2a, 1979 M es,: ) Chairman J o s e ph M. He'ndie,

U. S. Muclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 In the Matter of Virginia Electric and Fower Company north Anna hower Station, Unit 2 Docket No. 50-339

Dear Chairman Hendrie:

Recently the Nuclear Regulatory Commission imposec a mora-torium on tne licensing of nuclear power plants until new rules could ce written for operating reactors.

I am writing to you on oehalf of Citizens for Environmental Values to state tcat the memoers of our organization, wno live in tne greater Rich-mond, Virginia area, feel that tne NRC mace the correct deci-sion in imposing a moratorium.

The accicent earlier this year at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania clearly showea the need for a change in policy.

In recent weeks Governor Dalton and other irresponsiole Virginia officials have oeen trying to undermine the moratorium.

They want North anna Unit 2 licensed as soon as possible because they are worried aoout the financial implications of a licensing celay.

What Gcvernor Dalton and his allies nave ignorea are the much greater consequences, ooth numan and financial, of a possi-ole catastrophic nuclear accident.

Our organization strongly urges the NRC to continue the moratorium. The safety of Virginia's people depends on your willingness to stand up for a wise policy.

Sincerely, Jon Sundholm, Presicent Citizens for Environmental values 1/73 197
